In the shadowed corners of Rawlins, Wyoming, there murmured tales of Carl Higdon – an oil driller of repute. He served his hours at the enigmatic AM Well Service Company in Riverton. But, Carl’s destiny was to encounter events beyond mere drilling.
On a chilling day of October 25, 1974, drawn by fate or mere chance, Carl ventured into the dense wilderness near the Medicine Bow National Forest in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
In a clearing, several elks stood. Preparing to take a shot with his Magnum rifle, something eerie occurred. The bullet meandered out, gracefully slow, as if time itself was bending.
The air vibrated with an electric anticipation. To Carl’s astonishment, it wasn’t an elk he aimed at but a concealed spacecraft, cloaked in the very fabric of the forest.
Out of the ether, an entity approached, floating silently. Naming itself “Ausso One”, its peculiar form held Carl’s gaze. A direct head connected to its neck, coarse hair stood erect like ancient forest pines, and atop its head, twin antenna-like rods reached skyward.
Its face? A spectral visage without a chin. Dressed in a snug black jumpsuit, a belt bearing an emblem – a six-pointed star – adorned its form. Holding out a packet with four curious pills, it queried if Carl was hungry.
Memories turned hazy. Carl recalled a crystal-clear, cube-like vessel transporting him, the elks, and two more enigmatic beings. They journeyed through the vast cosmic sea, navigating 163,000 light years, guided by Ausso One.
Awakening back on Earth, Carl struggled to recount his otherworldly voyage, his faculties slightly impaired. As a token of this surreal encounter, he possessed a warped bullet – an undeniable evidence of his journey, challenging the skeptics.
For eons, humans have been drawn to the cosmos, yearning for the unknown. Advanced innovations have granted us the potential to challenge our boundaries. But is it pure curiosity that drives us?
Enter AUSSO One, the space tourism venture. It promises cosmic sojourns, not just for exploration but for experiences.
Suppose you’re crafting an introduction to this tale. You might think of the vastness of space. Yet, for the uninitiated, the term isn’t “outer space.” It’s “Ausso One.”
An unnamed wanderer, dreaming of the stars since boyhood, was presented an opportunity at 28. Ausso One, described as having a warmth rivaling George Clooney, offered a stellar journey in exchange for some snapshots. The tale, however, leaves us hanging. Did he soar among the stars? The universe, for now, keeps its secrets.
